Waterfront living may not be what first comes to mind when picturing a mountain home less than a mile from the Steamboat Springs Ski Area. And yet, it is this singular setting along 250 feet of Fish Creek in Barn Village that sets 1375 Secluded Court apart. Tucked among the pines and aspens at the end of a cul-de-sac, the property puts the sounds and sights of the free-flowing creek at the center of the living experience.
Designed by architect Frank Becker to live in direct connection with Fish Creek, the 4,700-square-foot home spans a single level, with its barnwood-and-natural-stone facade easily blending into its forested surroundings.
"This site in Barn Village simply cannot be replicated," says The Agency Steamboat Managing Partner Chris Paoli, who represents the property listed for $7,350,000. “Frank Becker oriented the living spaces toward the creek, a deliberate choice that defines how the home lives year-round. From the moment you walk in, you understand that the site and the architecture were designed as one."
Past the front door, the great room opens ahead of you, and Fish Creek comes into view through expansive window walls. Vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings rise to over 20 feet, and clerestory windows draw natural light in from above. The result is a space that feels expansive yet personal, with rich wood tones, natural stone, and gallery walls layering interiors with warmth and depth.
The chef's kitchen anchors the great room with a large entertaining island, a six-burner Thermador range with a steam oven, while an adjacent butler's pantry and home office are tucked within. It is a kitchen designed for both daily family life and large-scale entertaining.
Outdoor living is a central feature of the property. Glass doors recede to reveal a covered terrace that extends from the great room, featuring an outdoor living room with a television, a sunken hot tub, and heated floors. The surrounding rockwall gardens and grassy lawn complete the creekfront experience. The Fish Creek corridor is an active wildlife habitat, frequented by bears and moose, which have been spotted resting on the lawn and under the trees.
Single-level living at this scale is rare, and the floor plan here makes a compelling case for it. Frank Becker organized the home so that the great room serves as the central hub, with distinct wings extending in either direction, each with its own identity and privacy.
To one side, a gallery hall with glass walls leads along the creek to the primary wing. The primary bedroom features a fireplace set within a stone wall, vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, glass doors to a private patio, a separate door to the outdoor hot tub, and awning windows positioned to bring in the sound of the creek.
The spa-style bath includes a full steam wet room with soaking tub and dual showers. What follows may be the home's most quietly functional detail: the walk-in dressing room connects directly to the laundry area, which in turn connects to the mudroom. It is the kind of sequence that sounds simple but transforms daily living.
To the other side of the great room, a guest wing houses two ensuite king bedrooms, each with dual vanities, plus a wet bar and coffee area. A separate hall leads to the game and media room, and beyond it, a bunk room with dual queen bottom beds, an ensuite bath, and patio access that can also serve as a second primary suite.
Off the great room, the game and media room is a destination in its own right. Featuring a full wet bar with wine and beverage fridges and an ice maker, a fireplace framed in Shou Sugi Ban wood (an ancient Japanese technique of scorching and preserving timber), and direct patio access give the space genuine character and guest appeal. Designed to close off completely from the sleeping areas, it is built for après and late nights, the kind of room where the evening extends without ever disturbing anyone else in residence.
The home is equipped with in-floor radiant heat, central A/C, Lutron lighting, and Sonos sound throughout. All uncovered patio sections are heated, as is the driveway, meaning snow removal from outdoor surfaces is largely not a concern. The oversized two-car garage includes a pet wash station with hot and cold water, gear and bike storage, and a heated interior. It is a home that has thought through the details of mountain life at every level.
Barn Village is one of Steamboat Springs' most thoughtfully planned residential communities, defined by design integrity, creek frontage, and a setting that places residents between the ski area and downtown with walkable access to shopping, dining, and daily services. The architecture throughout reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and a strong connection to the landscape, making it a neighborhood that feels cohesive and intentional.
The community's 1.2-mile walking and biking trail follows Fish Creek and connects to the broader city trail network. The private clubhouse offers a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center, and over four acres of preserved open space are woven through the neighborhood alongside the historic Moore Barn, a Steamboat Springs landmark.
1375 Secluded Court is offered at $7,300,000. Contact [email protected] to arrange a private showing.
